i love my cool girlfriend @noa


i want to talk about xion right now so i am going to. kingdom hearts spoilers / fictional transphobia under read more


a sentiment that i have seen admittedly not very often, but that i still think is worth addressing, is that xion is transgender because she is a "girl" clone of a "boy" character(sora). i do not agree with this reasoning at ALL because she wasn't intended to be a replica of sora, she was "supposed" to have no identity at all, meaning no gender (sort of like her AGAB is genderless). but she did develop an identity over time, through her interactions with roxas and THAT is why she's trans! because she's self defined, against the role that was laid out for her.

not to mention actual literal transphobia she faces from characters (mostly saïx) who refuse to recognize her identity, misgendering her repeatedly. and that she doesn't have any control over how others see her, her friends see her own face, but saïx sees her with no face, xigbar sees ventus's face, and her tragic ending being, "this puppet will have to play her part" while she takes the face of sora, accepting her role as a vessel for his power :(

also while i'm at it, i've seen a lot of people making jokes about roxas's last words to xion as she's dying, "who else will i have ice cream with?" and i just want to point out that very early in 358/2 days, when roxas asks axel what "friends" are, he says they are people you eat ice cream with. oops i made myself cry

and one last thing, roxas is also a trans girl. i do not have anything to back up this claim, nor do i need it!
